Mickey Loomis is historically good

The hate is weird.

The hate is warranted. He should have started the rebuild years ago and still has his head in the sand about this roster and Dennis Allen. Takes zero accountability for the situation we’re in and blames our lack of success injuries as if we’re the only team who has them

Loomis and Haz ran a terrible team. If I remember correctly Loomis had much more control over the team than in the CSP years. Maybe my memory sucks lol

You could have just said he signed Brees. The cap manipulation “worked” because of Brees and we were no longer a laughing stock because of Brees

Brees has been gone since after 2020. That’s 4 seasons worth of ball - we are 30-38 since then. Thats 17% of his tenure here. Add the three 7-9s and that’s 30%. You can argue whose fault it is but at the end of the day it falls on the GM to make the right hires and to dictate the direction of the team. Can’t change the future but they need to correct it fast

I also don’t make the claim that ML is primarily responsible for the success during Brees’ years here.

But he certainly didn’t blow it like I’ve seen other GMs do when they have a good thing.

Side tangent: I had lots of fun watching the Saints during the Haslett years. They had some good players and teams and literally collapsed under the weight of a flooded city and organization. I’m glad it ended and I think Haslett was not a good coach, but I put the birth of the Saints as a professionally run sports organization and not clown show at 2000, not 2006 as most seemingly do.

Thanks for the condescending lecture, kin of Mickey.

I've seen the Saints scouting Department catch some crap for the drafting recently but I couldn't help but notice the reaction in the war room right after the Kelvin Banks pick.

For what it's worth, this is nothing against Banks. But unlike all the other rooms where it looked like everybody was on the same page and high-fiving each other, the Saints war room was not.

Besides, they were absolutely correct on Trey Hendrickson and Zach Baun. Hell even Marcus Davenport was a really good player but he just always got hurt. Marcus Williams was a pretty good safety, but most people will just remember that one tackle he missed against the Vikings.

I do think that drafting. Jake Harner was obviously a wasted pic. At least it looks like it. I mean dude. Stop throwing that f****** rugby ball around on the sideline

The fact is the Saints don't really have much of a draft history when it comes to quarterbacks

Brees was a free agent and so was Jeff Blake. Aaron Brooks came in a trade from the Packers.

Shough has a good arm and I really love that throw that he made to Welch the other day. But the reason I have concern about him is because of all the injuries he's already suffered and because of his age.

I'm saying when you group those two factors together injuries plus age. That's what I'm looking at. If he wasn't so injury prone I wouldn't give a shite about how old he was.

Loomis just strikes me as a guy that is not held accountable by anyone and some of the s*** that he says in his press conference is laughable.

Somebody already made that joke, dork.

Time has passed Mickey by. He was a damn good GM but it’s time to move on.

Mickey Loomis is going to be in the Hall of Fame as an General Manager. If you take out Al Davis and Jerry Jones as GMs since they also own the team, and Bill Belichick, there are only 3 GMs in history that have won more games than him. We can bitch all we want about him but he was able to keep the Saints relevant for two decades.

Mickey Loomis All Time Wins

And the line drawn from 2002 to now says this: with Sunday’s 28-6 victory over Carolina, Loomis has been general manager of the Saints for 200 regular-season wins in the NFL.

Since the NFL was founded in 1920, only seven men previously have held the title of general manager and accumulated 200 wins on their watch in the modern era: Al Davis, 409 wins as owner/general manager of the Raiders from 1966-2011; Bill Belichick, 265 wins as coach/general manager of the Patriots since 2000; Jerry Jones, 265 wins as owner/general manager of the Cowboys since 1989; Tex Schramm, 250 wins as general manager of the Cowboys from 1960-88; Bill Polian, 229 wins as general manager of the Bills (1986-92), Panthers (1995-97) and Colts (1998-2009); Kevin Colbert, 226 wins as pro personnel director/general manager of the Steelers from 2000-21; and Ozzie Newsome, 200 wins as executive vice president/GM of the Ravens from 1996-2018.
